Erixon was incredibly solid playing for Skellefteċ as a teenager, including playing in the SEL championship and he's showing more offensive skill than Moore. While Moore may be improving this year in Springy, he was shaky at times last season.

Moore hasn't played a game since December 15. It doesn't matter what Moore did last season or earlier in the season. He might look okay in practice, but why not give him a few games in the AHL to get back into action rather than dropping him into the deep end in the NHL?

Pressure builds diamonds. If he's doing poorly, let Savard play. It's not like he(Erixon) can't be called up, because at some point he probably will. It would be idiotic not to play them all. They must see something otherwise he'd be there.
